The more I give thanks for my life as it is, The more I can accept the healing that allows me to change and grow. 

Recovery can involve as much unlearning as learning.  My security cannot be based on learning "the rules" because once I truly learn them, they change.  

Does Analyzing my situation provide any useful insights, or is it an attempt to control the uncontrollable? 

Sometimes the only way I can determine what to accept and what to change is by trial and error.  Mistakes can be opportunities to gain the wisdom to know the difference.

When I gather flowers, or marvel at nature's wonders, I do not lose face when I concede that I am not in control.

No situation is really hopeless! 

When things don't happen according to my schedule, I can accept that there may be a reason, and I can learn to adjust to what is.  

No matter how long I work the Al-Anon program, I will never cease finding new ways to apply it to my life.  

The perspective I've gained through Al-Anon has shown me that some of the most difficult times in my life have produced the most wonderful changes.  

We are all as unique as out fingerprints, but as our fingers join in the closing prayer, each of us is part of a circle of hope that is greater than any of our individual differences.
